Get approximate issue count for backlog

Changed on

Returns the approximate count of all issues from the board's backlog, for the given board ID. This is equivalent to counting the issues on all pages returned by Get issues for backlog enhanced. Recent updates might not be immediately visible in the returned output. This only includes issues that the user has permission to view.
